Texting while driving crash on Easton Boulevard

DES MOINES, Iowa — A driver was lucky to walk away from a crash Monday morning … and even luckier that no one was walking on the sidewalk nearby.

The driver walked away from the accident. No one was on the sidewalk. The driver is being cited for using an electronic device while driving.
